More than half a billion people and the number of people who are online increases by 100 million every year. In 1994 there were only a few hundred web pages. Today there are billions. It has revolutionized the way we live and work But we are still in the early days. Soon there will be more and more interactivity between the user and the web site, and we will be able to give instructions using speech. 6 In 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped out of his space capsule onto the surface of the moon and made his famous statement: “That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” Since then, there have been space probes to Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and even the sun. A space observatory will someday study how the first stars and galaxies began, So far, it seems that we are alone in the universe. There are no signs yet that there is intelligent life outside our own solar system. But who knows what the future holds? y Surely nothing has done more for the comfort and happiness of the human race than the advances in health care! How many millions of people have benefited from the humble aspirin? How many lives has penicillin saved? Average life expectancy worldwide has risen dramatically over the past 100 years, from about 47 years in 1900 to about 77 years today. Y We are a world on the move. Airlines carry more than 1.5 billion people to their destinations overy year. It is estimated that at any one time these days there are more people in airplanes than the total number of people who traveled abroad in the whole of the nineteenth century (but | have no idea how they figured this out!) 9 It is true that they are now commercialized, and there is greed and drug abuse. However, it is a competition in which every country in the world takes part. Every four years, for a brif moment, we see these countries come together in peace and friendship. We feel hope again for the future of mankind. 6 In 1855, an American senator named Edward Everett said, “Drop a grain of California gold into the ground, and there it will ie unchanged until the ‘end of time. Drop a grain of wheat into the ground and—lo!—a mystery.” Farming has played an important role in the economies of the United States and Canada, Nowadays, we can’t eat all the food we produce. If only politicians could find a way to share it with those parts of the world where there is famine. © We are still here! The last wonder of the modern world is simply that we are still here. We have had nuclear weapons for over 50 years that could destroy the world, but we haven't used them to do it. This is surely the greatest wonder of all.

He was born on July 21, 1899, in Oak Park, Hinois, the second of six children. His family was strict and very religious. His father taught “550 his children a love of nature and the outdoor life, Ernest caught his first fish at the age of three, and was given a shotgun for his twelfth birthday. His mother taught him a love of music and art. At school, he was good at English and wrote for the school newspaper He graduated in 1917, but he didn't go to college. He went to Kansas City and worked as a journalist for the Star newspaper. He learned a lot, but left after only six months to go to war. Hemingway and war Hemingway was fascinated by war. He had wanted to become a soldier, bout couldn't because he had poor eyesight. Instead, in the First World War, he became an ambulance driver and was sent to Italy, where he was wounded in 1918. After the war, he went to lve in Paris, where he was encouraged in his work by the American writer Gertrude Stein. In the 1930s, he became a war correspondent in the Spanish Civil Wer and World War Il. Many of his books were about war, His most successful book, For Whorn the Bell Tolls, was waitten in 1940 and is about the Spanish Civil War. Another novel, A Farewell fo Arms, is about the futility of war, His personal life Hemingway's success in writing was not mirrored by similar suecess in his personal life. He married four times. His first wife divorced him in 1927, He immediately married again and moved to Key West, Florida, where he enjoyed hunting, fishing, and drinking, but he also suffered from depression. This wasn’t helped when, in 1928, his father committed suicide. Hemingway's health was not good and he had many accidents ‘Two more marriages failed and he began to drink heavily In 1954, he had two plane crashes. In October of the same year he was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature, but he was too sick to receive it in person, His final years His final years were taken up with health problems and alcohol. He began to lose his memory and he couldnt write anymore, On Sunday, July 2, 1961, Hemingway kiled himself with a shotgun, just as his fether had done before himly On October 25, 1881, a baby boy was born in Malaga, Spain. It was a difficult birth and to help him breathe, cigar smoke was blown into his nose! This baby grew up to be one of the twentieth century's greatest painters—PABLO PICASSO. Picasso showed his genius from a very young age. His frst word was Lepiz (Spanish for pencil) and he could draw before he could talk, He was the only son in the family, so he was thoroughly spoiled. He hated school and often refused to go unless he was allowed io take one of his father’s pet pigeons with him! Apart from pigeons, his great love was ar. When in 1891 his father got 2 job as an art teacher, Pablo went with hin to work and watched him paint. Sometimes he vias allowed to help. One evening, his father was painting a picture of their pigeons when he had to leave the room, When he returned, Pablo had completed the picture, it was 50 beautiful and ielike that he gave his son his palette and brushes and never painted again, Pablo was just 13. His life as an ai His genius as an artist was soon recognized by many people, but others were shocked by his strange and powerful paintings. He is probably best known for his Cubist pictures. His portraits of people were often made up of triangles and squares with their features in the wrong places. One of his most famous portraits was of the American writer Gertrude Stein, who he met after he'd moved to Paris in 1904. His work changed ideas about art around the world, and to millions of people, modern art means the work of Picasso. Guernica, which he painted in 1937, records the bombing of that small Basque town during ‘the Spanish Civil War, and is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces of modern painting, His final years Picasso married twice and also had many gisfriends. He had four children. The last, Paloma, was born in 1949 when he was 68 years old. At the age of 90 he was honored by an exhibition in the Louvre in Pars, He was the first living artist to be shown there Picasso created over 6,000 paintings, drawings, and sculptures. Today, a Picasso costs milions of dollars. Once when the French Minister of Culture was visting Picasso, the artist accidentally sled some paint an the Ministers pants. Picasso apologized and wanted to pay for them to be cleaned, but the Minister said, "Non! Please. Monsieur Ficasso, just sign my pants!” Picasso died of heart failure during an attack of influenza in 1973, 5 Answer the questions. L. Where and when was he born? When and how did he die?
